An English army officer in India who had been living an impure life
went round one evening to argue religion with the chaplain. During
their talk the officer said:
"Religion is all very well, but you must admit that there are
difficulties--about the miracles, for instance."
The chaplain knew the man and his besetting sin, and quietly looking
him in the face, answered:
"Yes; there are some things in the Bible not very plain, I admit; but
the seventh commandment is very plain."
